ANTI HYDRAULIC RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted by the Yubs City Grange at Its
Last hIeeiinr.

Last Meeting.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at 8 recent meeting Of the
Yuba City Grange:
WHEREAS, There is a deep laid conspiracy,
organized and managed by the hydraulic min
ers and their agents, assisted by a few traitors
in our midst, to divide our own people In regard
to the manner in which the anti-debris litiga-
ton has been and is now conducted and to con-
for protection are rendered unsyeiiing; and,
whereas, our opponents from the nature OF their
business can easily organize, and from
long experience have learned that to
succeed they must extoll their leaders
and promptly obey their dictation, by which
means they frequently convince others that the
wrong they represent is right: while we, if dis
united, with e part OF our people eontinually
working against US and themselves, make but
slow progress in the great work in hand and,
whereas, some true friends of the valley, be-
ieying its accusations because they have not
and viii not take the trouble to investigate the
matter, severely criticise the manner in which
the affairs OF the anti-debris fiitigation) have
been conducted by those whom circumstances
have forced into the leadership in the fight ;
and, whereas, many OF us have made close
investigation of the records of the Association
which have been accurately kept, and can be
readily examined by any one sufficiently inter
ested; and, whereas, we can see from the course
pursued by the miners in the State Legislature
that they are still endeavoring to render the
laws delays more tedious andt the litigation more
expensive and inconclusiye, that being the sole
object of the Walrath and similar bills now,
therefore, we, the Yuba City Grange, containing
a membership of over 100 farmers, and repre-
senting in this, we believe, the ideas and opin-
ions OF our most intelligent, energetic and in
luential citizens do resolve
That we repose unlimited confidence in the
integrity and ability OF the members OF the anti
debris litigation who have so fully accomplish
ed the purpose for which the Association was
founded, and now are assisting to enforce the
DEGREES which they, at so great effort, obtained.
That, as a Grange, we stand united on this
proposition and feel called upon TO counteract
any spirit OF discord that may be promoted
among us by our enemies.
That we recognize the fact that many of our
merchants have consistently refused to give aid
to this wolf in sleeps clothing and we assure
them that the people of our county will not be
unmindful of their friends.
That we know that our representatives in the
State Legislature, who are members of our Or
der, have been faithful servants and represented
our true interests, and that their present course
meets with our heartiest approval; that we con-
graduate, not only the people of our district,
but of our great valley, upon our having elected
such men. And when the Grange shall have
educated the farmers OF the State so that they
demand and obtain the majority of offices to
which they are entitled, then we shall have q
State Government of which we may well be
proud.
The resolutions also contain sections bit
terly criticising the Marysville Democrat,
charging that it is working in the interests
of hydraulic miners.
